You can see the gold finish on the halo-like surround for the driver’s seat, there’s contrasting gold stitching for the upholstery, and it even gets a limited Batman Edition plaque with numbering on the centre console; there are gold accents on the AC vents, key fob and the rotary dial on the centre console. This is further complemented by the Dark Knight trilogy logos on the seats, interior labels, interior door handles, the passenger side of the dashboard and on the boost button on the steering wheel.
The ambient lighting integrated into the panoramic glass roof is also Dark Knight trilogy-themed, and even puddle lamps throw up the Batman logo. The instrument cluster displays a Batman Edition welcome animation and there’s also a Batman-themed start up sound.
Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition battery and specs
The Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is based on the top-spec Pack Three variant. The BE 6 Batman Edition is, therefore, equipped with a 79kWh battery, which returns an ARAI-claimed range of 682km. It is powered by an electric motor on the rear axle, producing 286hp and 380Nm of peak torque. AC charging options include 7.2kW or 11kW chargers, but these are chargeable over the ex-showroom price.
The BE is the latest to join the trending list of Dark Edition SUVs and also the first Mahindra EV to be meted out such a Dark Edition treatment. That said, the BE 6 Batman Edition has to be one of the most sinister-looking dark-themed SUVs we have seen so far.
